It then became a radio studio for CBS, a television studio for NBC, an adult film theater, a movie theater, and a nightclub. It reopened as a Broadway theater in 2017 and is currently operated by Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG). Recent productions include Death of a Salesman, Plaza Suite, American Utopia, Burn This, and Head Over Heels.

Maria Friedman first directed the musical at London’s Menier Chocolate Factory which subsequently transferred to the Harold Pinter Theatre to critical acclaim—the most five-star reviews in West End history—winning the Olivier Award for Best Musical.

The cast includes: Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe, and Lindsay Mendez.
